Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 101

But what Julie saw was completely different from what she had imagined. The kitchen was not messy at all, but very tidy Kieran, clad in a casual light grey home wear, was skillfully frying eggs in the kitchen, quite unlike the man she remembered

Perhaps her intense gaze was too much for the egg-frying man, because he suddenly turned around and said to her, “Come help me tie the apron.”

Instead of heeding Kieran’s instruction to get the apron, she strode into the kitchen “Why don’t I do II?”

“You’re all dressed up. You shouldn’t be in the kitchen. Be a good girl and bring me the apron. His voice sounded very appealing

Seeing his insistence, Julie reluctantly turned around to fetch the apron. She used to live here and was very familiar with the layout of the villa. Even after Bertha moved in, not much had changed.

Julie handed the apron to Kieran. “Tie it yourself!”

“You have to help me, or the eggs will get burnt,” He said, holding the spatula in one hand and leaning towards her.

But Julie stood there, unmoving

“If my clothes get dirty, you’ll have to pay for it,” He said

The moment she heard about paying, Julie flared up. “Why should I pay if your clothes get dirty?”

“Because this egg is for you; He said matter-of-factly.

He flipped the egg in the pan once more, then turned his back to Julie. “Help me tie the apron” Julie had no choice but to help him.

Then, Julie left the kitchen and went upstairs to grab her bag. Knowing that Kieran would arrange for someone to send Ivan to school, she quickly said hello to Noah and then left while Ivan and Kieran were still in the kitchen.

Noah, in his fifties, was a highly trained butler who graduated from a professional butler college and was very well-versed in high society etiquette. As far as Julie could remember, Noah had always worked for the Hernandez family. He was one of the few people who supported her marriage to Kieran back then. After marrying Kieran, Noah had looked after her in many ways.

Seeing Noah again made Julie feel very reassuring. She pulled out her phone and called a cab,
